Overview
- Orrico filed the lawsuit on Jan. 6 in Los Angeles, naming ex-manager Britt Ham, Universal Music Group, ForeFront Records, and related entities.
- The filing claims Ham began abusing her at age 14 during business trips to Los Angeles and later had penetrative sex with her when she was 17.
- The complaint asserts label-connected figures knew of red flags and prioritized her marketable image over safety, including an allegation that a companion who raised concerns was fired.
- According to the suit, executives Greg Ham and Eddie DeGarmo were aware of inappropriate conduct, with one allegedly warning her parents and later telling police of concerns.
- Orrico seeks unspecified damages and a jury trial; coverage reports defendants have not issued substantive responses, and she links lasting trauma to an abrupt mid-2000s career end.
